North European Paganism

How many words do the Sami have to describe features of reindeer? Who were the three Norns who sat under Yggdrasil’s branches? How did Nordic spirit-callers cast their magical spells? In this informative pocket book, author and acclaimed wine-writer Linda Johnson-Bell tells the story of Northern European paganism, and paints a landscape of stunning beauty, populated by otherworldly shamans, strange gods, heathen temples, and living elemental energies.
